Paper ID #14486The History of the Engineering Libraries Division, Part 1 - 1893 to 1960Mr. Michael J White, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 The History of the Engineering Libraries Division of the American Society for Engineering Education, Part 1: 1893-19601. IntroductionThe Engineering Libraries Division (ELD) of the American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) will mark its fiftieth anniversary as a division in 2017. This important milestone is anappropriate time to reflect on the role and impact of librarians within ASEE and in engineeringeducation

…and work diligently over time to gain scienceknowledge and related skills and experiences.” Storm and Wei6 also emphasize that a sciencelibrarian must understand the “methods, culture, and language of science.” Beck and Callison3find that science librarians must 1) know the terminology/language of relevant scientific fields,2) comprehend the flow of scientific literature, and 3) have credibility with faculty.Mentorship also plays an important role in training a new STEM librarian. Beck and Callison3find that the mentor plays an important role in the development of a science librarian.Henshilwood, et al. 7 describe their mentorship program which include subject specific databases,mastering core functions, and creating deliverable products

Literacy for Higher Education have many similarities. The maindefinition of “Research as Inquiry” from the ACRL framework states that “Research is iterativeand depends upon asking increasingly complex or new questions whose answers in turn developadditional questions or lines of inquiry in any field.”1 Similarly, the definition of the engineeringdesign process as stated by ABET is: “Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs.” 2Both the ACRL information literacy framework

techniques, use of technology, and demeanor. SeeAppendix A for the form and written observation instructions.During the observation, we explicitly requested that observers take any notes directly on a papercopy of the form instead of on a laptop. We wanted to minimize the feeling that colleagues werebeing judged and preserve an atmosphere of comfort and open learning. The observers are askedto note strengths of the instructor, areas of improvement, and new ideas learned.The post-observation meeting and form should be completed 1-7 days after the session, to ensurethat feedback is provided while the instruction is fresh in both parties’ minds. Post-observation,participants should discuss notes taken during the observation and action steps for both

As the most networkedgeneration ever enters higher education, smartphones, text messaging, and various social mediaplatforms pervade their daily activities. Despite their unquestionable technological savvy, anexpanding body of information literacy studies indicates that most of these students lack (2-5)fundamental information literacy skills upon entering higher

access.A decade ago Ramaley and Zia had the foresight to recommend using 3D printing as a tool tofoster engagement and learning for the “net generation,” in both K-12 and post-secondarysettings.1 At the same time, they expressed reservations due to the limitations posed by theexorbitant costs associated with 3D printing technology in 2005. Since then, costs associatedwith 3D printing have fallen dramatically. This is due, in large part, to the expiration of a numberof patents in 2014 which has allowed a variety of new machines to be produced and marketed tonon-commercial users.2 Because of this, there have been a proliferation of efforts to use 3Dprinting as an engagement and outreach tool in formal and informal educational settings.

It’s determining what people want, delivering it, evaluating consumer satisfaction,and then periodically updating that whole process” 1. She goes further in specifying thedifference between marketing and promotion stating “promotion is furthering the growth ordevelopment of a product or service. It’s not just aiming toward good will; it’s encouragingpeople to use that product or service by telling those people how it would benefit them” 2.Dempsey also

and, as a result, an increased demand for adequatesupport services.This study addresses the questions of how are engineering librarians roles impacted by and whatis the extent of their involvement with the new research metrics practice.Literature ReviewResearch assessment was done traditionally through peer-review with the intention of improvingthe quality of scientific research.1 However, the exponential increase of scholarly outputs andincreasing interdisciplinarity deemed peer-review activity as insufficient assessment practice andcreated the need for a more comprehensive assessment methodology. Additionally, as theunderstanding of the relation between research and social and economic benefits changed,research public policy also changed

, general, or mechanicalengineering 1.As mentioned in the abstract, this paper is organized as if it were a patent, containing claimsand subclaims. As the paper will describe “patenting” an engineering librarian at anAmerican university, the patent will follow the patents issued by the United States Patent andTrademark Office (USPTO). The three types of patents issued by the USPTO are utility,design, and plant. The patent described for this paper is similar to a design patent, as anengineering librarian is not a new job title. More specifically, the paper is organized intoclaims that are essential components of patents issued by the United States. According to theUSPTO, “The claim or claims shall define the matter for which protection is sought
